I then mix this solution with the oilimpregnated sawdust prepared in accordance with the first step described above, and in this manner the finished composition is prepared for use.

The com osition is of a 'pasty nature, all of the liquid ingredients being absorbed by the particles of sawdust, and in the use of the composition a suitable quantity thereof is rubbed on the hands or on any surface which is to be cleaned eitherwith orwithout the addition of water as may be desired. The hands, or any surface to which the composition has been applied, may then be rinsed or washed with clear water to remove all traces of the composition.
